Seed Starting and Seed Saving Double Feature

From The Natural Gardener –

TWO GREAT CLASSES IN ONE DAY! IT’S A VEGGIE SEED “DOUBLE-HEADER”! At 10 am – Linda Wall presents “Starting Seeds Indoors.” When vegetable gardening in Texas, timing is everything. Being able to start vegetable (and other) seeds indoors gives a gardener more control over choosing plant varieties, as well as timing. Plus, it’s fun! Linda will teach us all the tricks to starting seeds indoors successfully, so we can have the freedom of planting what we want, when we want. Learn about lighting, timing, heat, and more. Linda Wall is the AustinGardenConsultant.com, a horticulturist at The Natural Gardener, blogger at TheRedneckHippie.com, and has grown vegetables for over 30 years.

Then at 11:30 am – Linda Wall teaches us all about “Basic Seed-Saving for the Vegetable Gardener.” Gardeners and farmers have been saving seeds and doing their own plant breeding long before we had commercial seed companies. When we correctly save our own home grown vegetable seeds over time, we get varieties that are uniquely well-adapted to our specific site – and our palates! Come and learn how to save your own vegetable seeds to save money, preserve genetic diversity, and ensure you’ll never be without that favorite vegetable variety.
